Product Description

Carbon films on nickel grids are thin and highly transparent to electrons, offering fine grain and low contrast that does not interfere with specimen structure.

Supplied as packs of 25 or 50 grids in a grid box.

Carbon support films can be applied to other grid sizes, material or type. Further details available on request.



Uniform Carbon Films on Nickel Grids

These grids utilize precision vacuum evaporation or sputtering techniques to create a consistent, uniform carbon film atop highly pure nickel substrates. The thin films, approximately 1020 nm thick, minimize imaging artefacts while providing excellent electrical conductivity essential for electron microscopy applications. Custom mesh sizes ensure adaptability to various experiment requirements.


Reliable Support for Advanced Imaging

Designed for TEM and SEM, these support films enhance imaging quality through reduced background interference and robust specimen support. The standard 3.05 mm diameter fits universal TEM holders, making them an ideal choice for academic, industrial, and research laboratories. Their insoluble, odorless construction ensures stability in diverse conditions.


Safe, Durable, and Easy-to-Store

Carbon-coated nickel grids are non-poisonous and meet environmental and safety norms. Packaged under a dry atmosphere, they exhibit a shelf life of 24 months when stored in sealed containers. Their analytical grade purity and compliance with international standards guarantee long-lasting performance and reliable results.

FAQs of Carbon films on Nickel Grids:


Q: How are carbon films applied to nickel grids for electron microscopy?

A: The carbon films are deposited onto nickel grids using vacuum evaporation or sputtering methods. These controlled processes create an amorphous carbon layer (about 1020 nm thick) that offers uniform coverage and high electrical conductivity, optimizing the grid for TEM and SEM imaging.

Q: What are the benefits of using carbon-coated nickel grids in TEM and SEM applications?

A: These grids provide strong specimen support, high purity, and conductance. Their uniform carbon films reduce imaging artefacts and background noise, enhancing image clarity and reproducibility in material science and electron microscopy research.

Q: When and how should carbon film nickel grids be stored to maximize shelf life?

A: For optimal longevity, store the grids in dry, sealed containers away from moisture and contaminants. Under recommended conditions, their shelf life is up to 24 months, maintaining surface quality and structural integrity for consistent imaging results.

Q: Where are carbon-coated nickel grids typically used?

A: These grids are utilized in laboratories, research institutes, and industrial settings throughout the United Kingdom and worldwide for high-resolution imaging in transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and material science analysis.

Q: What makes these carbon film grids compatible with standard TEM holders?

A: The grids maintain a standard diameter of 3.05 mm and conform to established EM/TEM grid standards, ensuring seamless fit into universal TEM holders for both routine and specialized microscopy workflows.

Q: Is there any safety concern or toxicity associated with handling these grids?

A: No, the grids are non-poisonous and composed of analytical grade materials. Under normal laboratory handling, they pose no health risks, making them suitable for safe daily use in microscopy environments.

Q: Why is high electrical conductivity important for these support films?

A: High electrical conductivity ensures minimal charging of the specimen during electron microscopy, resulting in clearer images and improved accuracy in data acquisition for scientific research and analysis.
